Answer:
-1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
lim x approaches -6 (sqrt( 10-x) -4) / (x+6)
Rationalize
(sqrt( 10-x) -4) (sqrt( 10-x) +4)
------------------- * -------------------
(x+6) (sqrt( 10-x) +4)
We know ( a-b) (a+b) = a^2 -b^2
a= ( sqrt(10-x) b = 4
(10-x) -16
-------------------
(x+6) (sqrt( 10-x) +4)
-6-x
-------------------
(x+6) (sqrt( 10-x) +4)
Factor out -1 from the numerator
-1( x+6)
-------------------
(x+6) (sqrt( 10-x) +4)
Cancel x+6 from the numerator and denominator
-1
-------------------
(sqrt( 10-x) +4)
Now take the limit
lim x approaches -6 -1/ (sqrt( 10-x) +4)
-1/ (sqrt( 10- -6) +4)
-1/ (sqrt(16) +4)
-1 /( 4+4)
-1/8

Answer:
7 7/8
Step-by-step explanation:
There are several ways to get there.
2.25×3.5 = 7.875 = 7 7/8
(2 1/4)(3 1/2) = (9/4)(7/2) = 63/8 = 7 7/8
(2 1/4)(3.5) = 2(3.5) +(1/4)(3.5) = 7 + (2·3.5)/(2·4) = 7 +7/8 = 7 7/8
A typical graphing calculator will let you enter this problem directly, giving you a result either as a decimal, improper fraction, or a mixed number.
Answer:
15 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, the illustration for the problem is a right triangle with:
hypotenuse (C)= the length of the ladder = L
horizontal side(A) = distance from bottom of the ladder to the building = L - 6
vertical side(B) = distance from the top of the ladder to the bottom of the building = L - 3
So, we can use Pythagoras formula:
A2 +B2= C2
(L – 6 )² + (L-3)² = L²
L²-12L+36+L²-6L+9 =L²
L2 -18L+45 =0
APPLYING QUADRATIC FORMULA WE OBTAIN:
L =15 OR L=3
If L=3
Vertical side = L-3 = 0 (Length can´t be 0)
So L=15
